Cricket: Pakistan wants removal of match referee after controversial Asia Cup match against India

# Cricket: Pakistan’s governing body asked for the removal of match referee Andy Pycroft after their Asia Cup match against India in Dubai. This follows after the Indian players refused to shake hands after winning by seven wickets. This was the first match between the arch-enemies since the four-day military conflict in May. The chairperson of the Pakistani Cricket Board, Mohsin Naqvi, called it a lack of sportsmanship and says they’ve lodged a complaint against Pycroft at the International Cricket Council for a violation of the code of conduct.
